During a private tasting of Voo Vodka, I had the opportunity to sit down
with the founder, DeCarlos Stewart. DeCarlos Stewart, a native
Detroiter is the founder of the first black-owned premium vodka, that is
made is right here in Michigan! Voo which is 8 times distilled versus
the norm which is 5 times is sure to have a distinct smoother taste.
During this candid interview DeCarlos and I share a few laughs as he
enlightens me on the brand, which is Voo Vodka.

Style Chic 360: What made you want to start your own liquor company? How did Voo
Vodka come about?

DeCarlos Stewart: Diddy. If he can get it I can get, yeah, yeah told you I
want stop. Naw, seriously, I wanted to create something different, that black
people owned versus being the face of someone else's product. It was an
expensive challenge but in the end, the ends justified the means and it was worth
it.

SC360: So what makes your vodka different, why should one buy Voo?

DS: Well, if you want quality vodka buy Voo. If you want just a
nameplate buy the others stuff. Voo is 8 times distilled, it’s made right here
in Michigan, it’s homegrown. One taste you’ll see there’s a quality difference
and you’ll see why Voo is better than the rest.

SC360: Voo is available in Michigan and Nevada , where
can it be purchased?

DS: Drinkvoo.com has a store locator where you can search by
zipcode and view all stores that have Voo currently in your area. For locations that
don’t have Voo simply go into your local liquor store and simply ask for it the
more people asking for it, the more
stores will pick it up. With so many vodka’s out there, in the end the peoples
demand determines whether the stores will carry it. It’s a grassroots
movement. Voo is not just a vodka it’s a lifestyle.

It's always a pleasure to meet homegrown talent and entrepreneurs, I wish DeCarlos and Voo Vodka much success!
